Thank you. I like the logo on the side of the LE control panel, I think that was used in one of the early comics, I know I've seen it before.

I dont see them pop up very frequently, I looked for months before I found one on ebay that came with an ATC stretcher / missile assembly, and RAM saddlebags...

Pretty hard unfortunately. That and the stabiliser leg and often missing. I've occasionally seen them in joblots which always go for large sums as a result.

What colour are the GI Joe HAL accessories? That may be a cheaper alternative.

I am glad I got one on Empireisland but I thought it was 100% complete. The same I think Baron I did check for a HAL because it's old GI Joe they go for quite a lot on e-bay.

Hal has a green third leg and a brown console :-(

Which can be painted over black TKW at the cost of butchering a HAL

Hard, very hard. You really need to run into that part by accident. I do have a spare control panel, but (like any other collector) I am keeping it to complete an incomplete Laser Exterminator in future.

If a Laser Exterminator is missing the third support leg or the control panel, I might keep it to make one out of two, but sometimes I just strip the vehicle (wheels etc.), keep the parts and throw away the hull. Laser Exterminators missing both third leg and control panel are always stripped and chucked away as it is mission impossible to complete.

It's easier buying a complete Laser Exterminator than completing an incomplete one.

I was close once but stupidly dismissed a console and the leg
